You are welcome to join us for any of our
services. The church is also open for private
prayer during the day.

St Laurence's is a very old (originally Saxon)
Church and is set in an extensive and peaceful
Churchyard which adjoins fields and woods.
Inside it is quiet and simple and has a welcoming
atmosphere which contributes to the peace and
beauty of this holy place.

A modern feature is the Millennium Window over the
West door, which the Parish community generously
gave in 2000. This depicts various scenes of life
in the Village of Lurgashall, both past and
present.

Lurgashall is part of a combined benefice, being linked to the neighbouring Parishes of Ebernoe and Northchapel.
